Your PRO 9842 Vehicle Alarm System has many features and available options some of
which must be selected at time of installation. For your reference, the list on the back page
of this manual shows what features and options have been installed with this particular
system. Consult your installing dealer for options that may have been installed and are not
listed.
ARMING THE SYSTEM - ACTIVE
1. Turn the engine off, exit the vehicle, and close all doors.
2. Press and release the left button of your key chain transmitter one time.
The parking lights will flash once, the siren will chirp once, and the dash mounted LED will
begin to flash slowly confirming the system is armed. If you have the optional door lock/
unlock circuit installed, the doors will also lock.
SILENT ARMING - ACTIVE
1. Turn the engine off, exit the vehicle, and close all doors.
2. Press and hold the left button of your key chain transmitter for two seconds.
The parking lights will flash once, and the dash mounted LED will begin to flash slowly
confirming the system is armed. The siren will not chirp. If you have the optional door
lock/unlock circuit installed, the doors will lock.
ARMING THE SYSTEM - PASSIVE (AUTOMATIC)
If the passive arming feature has been selected:
Turn the engine off, exit the vehicle, and close all doors.
The dash mounted LED will immediately begin to flash rapidly indicating that the 30 second
passive arming timer has begun. If the LED does not begin to flash rapidly, then you have
left a door, hood, or trunk ajar. Closing this entry point will allow the arming cycle will
begin. If any entry point is opened during the 30 second arming cycle, arming will be
suspended. When all entry points are closed, the arming cycle will begin again. At the
end of the 30 seconds, the parking lights will flash once, the siren will chirp once, and the
dash mounted LED will begin to flash slowly confirming the system is armed. If the siren
did not sound when arming, then the chirps have been turned off. Please refer to the
section titled "Eliminating the Arm/Disarm Chirps" later in this manual. Passive door locking
is a selectable feature. If you have the optional door lock/unlock circuit installed, the doors
may or may not lock passively dependent upon the setup during installation.
PROTECTION WHILE THE SYSTEM IS ARMED:
Whenever the system is armed, opening any protected entry point, (i.e.; hood, trunk, or
doors), will cause the alarm to trigger immediately. The siren will sound and the parking
lights will flash for 30 seconds, then stop and reset to continue to monitor all protected
entry points. If the thief happened to leave the entry point open, the system will sound for
six consecutive 30 second cycles than shut down and reset, isolating the triggered zone,
while continuing to monitor and protect all other zones.
Whenever the system is armed, the dash mounted LED will slowly flash. This serves as a
visual deterrent to a potential thief. This LED is a very low current light emitting diode, and
will not cause the battery to drain even if left unattended for long periods of time.

Page 3
PROTECTION WHILE THE SYSTEM IS ARMED: (continued)
If the optional single stage shock sensor is installed, any strong impact to the vehicle will
cause the shock detector to trigger the alarm when armed. If the optional 2-stage shock
sensor is installed, any lesser impact will cause the pre-detect stage of the shock sensor to
emit a series of short warning tones from the siren when armed.
If the optional stater interupt is installed the vehicle starter circuit is disabled, even with the
ignition key the vehicle will not start. Should an attempt be made to start the engine, while
the PRO 9842 is armed, the starter circuit will remain interrupted.
DISARMING THE SYSTEM
As you approach the vehicle, press and release the left button on the keychain transmitter.
The parking lights will flash two times, the siren will chirp twice, and the dash mounted LED
will turn off. If you have the optional door lock/unlock circuit installed, the doors will unlock.
Note: If the passive arming mode was selected at the time of installation, the dash mounted
LED will start flashing rapidly indicating that the system is rearming. Opening any door will
suspend the automatic arming.
If the parking lights flashed three times, and the siren chirps four times, this indicates that
the alarm system had been triggered in your absence. Before turning on the ignition key,
examine the dash mounted LED's flash pattern. The number of flashes identifies the
triggered zone. For additional information, refer to INTRUSION WARNING SIGNALS found
later in this manual.
If the siren did not sound upon disarm, then the chirps have been turned off. Refer to the
section titled ELIMINATING THE ARM/DISARM CHIRPS.
SILENT DISARMING
1. As you approach the vehicle, press and hold the left button of your key chain transmitter
for two seconds, or until the system responds.
The parking lights will flash twice, and the dash mounted LED will turn off, confirming that
the system is disarmed. The siren will not chirp. If you have the optional door lock/unlock
circuit installed, the doors will unlock.
Note: If the passive arming mode was selected at time of installation, the dash mounted
LED will start flashing rapidly indicating that the system is rearming. Opening any door will
suspend the automatic arming.
If the parking lights flashed three times, and the siren chirps four times, this indicates that
the alarm system had been triggered in your absence.
VALET/PROGRAM/MANUAL OVERRIDE SWITCH
The valet switch allows you to temporarily prevent the PRO 9842 from arming, eliminating
the need to hand your keychain transmitter to parking attendants or garage mechanics.
When the system is in the valet mode, all alarm functions are by-passed, however the
remote panic feature, and the optional remote door lock/unlock will remain operational.
To enter the valet mode:
1. Start with the valet switch in the "off" position
2. Turn the ignition switch to the "on" position.
Page 4
VALET/PROGRAM/MANUAL OVERRIDE SWITCH (continued)
3. Within 10 seconds of step 2, flip the valet switch to the "on" position.
The dash mounted LED will turn on solid indicating that the valet mode has successfully
been entered.
To return to the normal, (alarm mode), operation, move the valet switch to the "off" position
any time the ignition switch is in the on position.
Note: In the event that you lose your keychain transmitter or the transmitter fails to oper-
ate the alarm system, the valet switch can be used to disarm the alarm. This is referred to
as the "Manual Override". To disarm the alarm:
1. Open the door with the vehicle door key. (The siren will sound)
2. Turn the ignition switch to the "on" position.
3. Flip the valet/override switch to the "on" position.
The system will disarm and the siren will stop sounding, allowing the engine to be started,
and the vehicle to be operated normally. Always remember to move the valet switch back
to the "off" position to allow the passive arming and optional starter interrupt features to be
operable the next time you park the vehicle.
INTRUSION WARNING SIGNAL
This system will inform you if an intrusion attempt has occurred while you were away from
the vehicle. Upon disarm, the siren will chirp 4 times and the parking lights will flash 3
times. Enter the vehicle and before turning on the ignition switch, observe the LED flash
pattern.
If the LED flashes two times...pause, two times...pause etc., then an intrusion attempt was
made to open the hood or trunk, or an impact or a strong vibration was applied that the
optional shock sensor detected. Check the vehicle for indications of forced entry to these
openings, or signs of glass breakage or body damage.
If the LED flashes three times...pause, three times...pause etc., then an intrusion attempt
was made to the vehicle doors. Check all doors for indications of forced entry.
Note: The LED intrusion warning indications are stored in the system's memory and will
be erased when the ignition switch is turned on.
ELIMINATING THE ARM/DISARM CHIRPS
You can selectively eliminate the normal arm & disarm chirps by holding the transmitter
button slightly longer when arming and disarming. This will prevent the siren chirps for
one arm or disarm cycle. If you find this inconvenient and wish to eliminate these chirps
permanently,
1. Start with the valet switch in the "off" position.
2. Turn the ignition switch "on" then "off".
3. Within 10 seconds of turning off the ignition, flip the valet switch "on", "off", "on", "off",
"on", "off".
4. If the chirps were on before you started, the siren will emit 2 short chirps indicating that
the chirps are now off. If the chirps were off before you started, the siren will emit one
short chirp indicating that the chirps are now on.

REMOTE PANIC OPERATION
The left button of your keychain transmitter also serves as a panic switch and will cause
the siren to sound on demand. To use the panic feature, you must be within the system's
maximum operating range. In an emergency situation, to use the panic feature, press and
hold the left button of your keychain transmitter for 3 seconds. This will cause the lights to
flash, the siren to sound. The panic mode will continue for 30 seconds and then reset.
To disengage the panic feature before the 30 seconds are up, press and hold the left
button of your keychain transmitter for 3 seconds.
While the panic mode is engaged, the doors can be remotely locked and unlocked via the
transmitter by pressing the left button momentarily.
ADDITIONAL REMOTE FUNCTION CHANNEL 2
The system has an additional feature, (Channel 2) , that can be connected to a number of
different optional accessories. Some of the more common uses for this channel are:
Remote Trunk Release
Remote Window Close
Remote Garage Door Interface
To operate the accessory associated with Channel 2, press and hold the right button of
your keychain transmitter for three seconds.
NOTE: You may access the Channel 2 command regardless of whether the system is
"armed" or "disarmed", but not when the ignition switch is in the on position. This is to
prevent the output from accidentally opening the vehicle's trunk when the vehicle is in
motion.
IGNITION DOOR LOCKING/UNLOCKING
When connected to a vehicle's power door lock system the PRO 9842 is capable of being
programmed for the added safety and security of ignition controlled door locking and
unlocking. These features are separate, so the PRO 9842 may be programmed for one,
or both, or neither. These features can only be used if the optional door lock/unlock circuit
is installed.
When the ignition door locking feature is programmed, the PRO 9842 system will cause
all door locks to lock whenever the ignition switch is turned from the "off" to "on" position,
(providing that all doors are closed at that time). All doors will lock approximately 2 sec-
onds after the vehicle's ignition switch is turned on. This is a nice feature for maintaining
the personal safety of the occupants of the vehicle, in an effortless and automatic manner.
When the ignition door unlocking feature is programmed, the PRO 9842 system will cause
all door locks to unlock whenever the ignition switch is turned from the "on" to "off" posi-
tion. All doors will unlock immediately after the vehicle's ignition switch is turned off.
As stated these features are programmed separately, so you may chose to use one, both,
or neither. Please consult with your dealer to consider your options.
